The GOAT - Greatest of All Time

write1 says: Sits atop my personal Greatest Games list. I have never seen any game before or since that gives the freedom and depth of Deus Ex. Have played through more times than I can remember and still find new things.

write1 says: A breakthrough game, it had a number of innovations never before seen in a FPS. A friendly squad you could give orders to. A planning screen you could preplot waypoints for your squads. It was a complicated game, but a good one.

write1 says: Perhaps not only the greatest - but the last. After Freespace 2, space shooters went out of fashion, with Freespace 3 and any Wing Commander sequel being canned. Freespace 2 has the good engine, fun gameplay, and awesome capital ship battles.

write1 says: Pretty much created the third person shooter/platformer genre. Like The Last of Us, or the Uncharted series? Thank Tomb Raider. She's also one of the most famous game character around. She's a little pixilated now but those nude codes still work;)

write1 says: A unique game that needs to be played. Basically an alternative universe 1976 America, with gangs of roaming bandits in cars with weapons strapped to them. A cool storyline and fun gameplay round this out. Look for the sequel too.

write1 says: Atmosphere. That's pretty much the key word for this and it's equally good sequel. Brilliant art design, wonderful story, great music, fun gameplay. Probably the best 3d platformers the PC has seen.

write1 says: This was the first game I ever had on CD. The opening animation (3D!) amazed me, and the gameplay was epic. Massive open world. Fully deformable terrain. Massive spell effects, and bigger monsters. A game that stretched 3dfx cards to the limit.

write1 says: The term 4X - eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate - was coined by a reviewer to describe the gameplay of Master of Orion. The sequel, known as MOO2, is considered by most, myself included, as one of the greatest games of all time.

write1 says: To be honest, I wasn't really a fan of Myst. To be fair, I was in primary school when it came out so the puzzles were more than slightly harder than I could contend with, however there is not arguing the impact Myst had on gaming.

write1 says: If you've played the free game Slender: the 8 pages, you know what this one is about. It's on the list because it redefined horror games and developed the most elegant way I've seen to jumpscare the player, not only to shock, but as the way to lose.

write1 says: Kind of difficult to recommend buying this since Star Control 2 has an open source version created by the original developer - 'The Ur-Quan Masters' that fixed bugs and is fully voiced. Even so it deserves a spot on the list.

write1 says: Want to be a starship commander, flying around the galaxy? Want to trade with weird aliens, explore strange new worlds, and generally do the kind of things you see in Star Trek? This is the game for you. There is literally no game even close to these

write1 says: Not without its flaws, Theme Hospital however is unique. A brilliantly funny hospital sim, where you build and run a hospital. Horribly dated, it's still a great game, though could do with a facelift.

The GOAT - Greatest of All Time

GOGmix bywrite12votesI like it

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)

Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!

So, what are the ingredients?

Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?

Justify your choice... Or not!

OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.
